My battery light had been going on and off for about a day. It only came on at idle and a couple of times while I was driving it.
this is kind of ironic.... I was driving home from work. the battery light was NOT on. I went to turn on the AC and it didn't work. Great. so I call up a VW dealer near me and try and make an appointment... as I am talking to the service dept the car fucking dies. all the warning lights come on and the engine goes dead.
I pull over to the side of the highway and call AAA. They tow my car 16 miles to the nearest VW dealer. Cost me 65 bucks for the tow. AAA only covers the first 3 miles for free. I am pretty sure that the alternator is toast.
In fact, I have a post about it in the Engine forum.
Fucking volkswagen. This is the first car that I have ever owned that has left me stranded on the side of the road.
I have had 2 honda accords, a ford mustang and a hodna fit. the mustang never broke down on me.
Not a good sign. This thing is a 2008 and only has 24,000 miles on it. Totally unacceptable.
